My sister coming out of Middle Street Foods on her cell phone while another patron on his cell phone is about to go in.
This is my hunt gift for the upcoming ZombiePopcorn 5! I'm so bloody happy to be a part of a hunt that I've enjoyed for years now. This is also my first attempt at making eyes. >_<

A geeky computer joke. This shell is nature's way of exploring cellular automata :).
A cellular automaton is a mathematical technique that evolves a collection of data using very simple rules. This shell exhibits that sort of evolution along its outer surface.
In the computer world, a shell is a program that accepts a persons inputs (usually by typing commands) and then spits out the results.
This image was shot with an iPhone 13 Pro, handheld. At dinner one night I noticed the colors along the facade of this hotel in Maui and was drawn to the soft hues and the hard lines. They almost look like prison cells, but they are open looking out to the ocean. I processed this in Lightroom and then in Smart Photo Editor. I decided to soften the image and pop up the colors to give it a poster like look.

This is the web of an Australian "Daddy long legs", which is very random, almost without form. In the early morning the dew collects at each intersection, and on a heavy morning of mist, along the spines.
our traditional "Ring of Fire" on the Great Sacandaga Lake in the 518. Every year on the labor Day weekend, we offer a sight to behold, the "Ring of Fire". It's a way of saying goodbye to the summer, and to usher in the Fall season. At dusk the shoreline of this large lake is set ablaze from small, modest campfires to enormous 200 foot tall torches of flames, (all very well managed and contained), to pay homage
to a lake that gives us so much throughout the year. Friendship, excitement, adventure, and pure beauty of the Foothills of the Adirondacks.

Right off the top I know this image isn’t going to get a lot of fanfare, but I feel the need to share it anyhow. It’s a weird abstract “what the heck is it?” sort of image photographed at extreme magnification. So, what is it that you’re looking at?
This is a small portion of a mulberry leaf photographed at 20x magnification with a Mitutoyo Plan APO microscope objective. Mulberry leaves are generally unremarkable, but THIS one has a fungal infection! Photographed using ultraviolet light, the mulberry leave is also unimpressive. Almost no fluorescence… but the fungus on the other hand delivers a light show.
Leaves have little pores that allow them to “breathe”, in a sense: they are called stomata / stomas, or stomate in the singular sense. These pores control the exchange of gasses in the leave, but are also a “way in” for fungal spores. This is why all the stomata on this leaf have a “glow” to them around the active infection. The bottom left of the image is deteriorated to nothing, while the upper right of the image shows stomata relatively untouched by the infection – until it continues to spread.
The tree has no defense for such an infection, other than to shed leaves that are too damaged to function properly. Even in the smallest things around us – in a tiny brown spot on a leaf, battles are being waged.
This is an intensive focus stack of hundreds of images taken with my Lumix S1R and attached to the NOVOFLEX Castel-Micro automated focusing rail. Illuminated with a Convoy C8 UV LED flashlight and a 1/3sec exposure per frame at ISO 1600. When dealing with high magnification, you need to remember a number of things:
- Your subject may move. It’s just a leaf, right? Now much can it move? Come back an hour later and it may have flattened, shriveled, or wilted. Small movements become quite noticeable through a 20x objective! To solve this, the edges of the leave outside of the frame are pinned down.
- Mechanical shutters will shake your camera. If you are using a mechanical shutter and a continuous light source, you’ll notice a small amount of what seems to be motion blur in your images. For any shot like this, the camera is set to use an electronic shutter.
- I could have shot this at a lower ISO setting and a slightly longer exposure, but this would introduce a greater potential for subject movement over the course of the shoot. Since the resolution of the sensor (47MP) outpaces the resolving power of the objective, a little noise doesn’t really hurt the detail in the final image.
I understand that images like this aren’t everyone’s cup of tea; they’re also technically difficult to achieve and I don’t expect many people to run out and try it for themselves. Even still, I’m fascinated by the tiniest narratives we can uncover in the universe at our feet.

A busy day, out for the whole duration and not much time for shooting. I was at a family party and ended up borrowing a giant handful of straws - I wondered what they'd look like with my macro lens and lit from underneath :)
They almost look like single celled organisms to me.
